Micah 2
1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and plotting evil on their beds, to put it to effect the break of day when they have power in their hands! 2 covet fields, and kidnap them, the houses, and if you take them, so they oppress a man and his house, the individual and his property. 3 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold, I meditate a race against this evil, which you can not remove your necks, and not walk more than a head uplifted, they will be bad times. 4 In that day will be upon you a saying, you sing a lament, and say: 'It is finished! We are completely ruined! He spends the other part of my people! You see, as he takes it from me! Our fields distributes them unbelievers! ' 5 So that you will no longer pull the string to the parties, in the congregation of the LORD.
6 'Do not prophesy!' they are repeating. Even if you do not profetizzino such things, you will avoid the ignominy. 7 O you who bear the name of the house of Jacob, the Lord is quick to anger, perhaps? This is his way of acting? My words are not they favor the one who walks righteously? 8 But lately my people rise as an enemy, you take away the mantle of the above as a quelli che passan tranquillamente, che tornano dalla guerra. 9 Voi cacciate le donne del mio popolo dalle case che son la loro delizia; voi rapite per sempre la mia gloria ai loro figliuoletti. 10 Levatevi, andàtevene! perché questo non è luogo di riposo; a motivo della sua contaminazione, esso vi distruggerà d'una distruzione orrenda. 11 Se uno andasse dietro al vento, e spacciasse menzogne, dicendo: 'Io predirò per te vino e bevande forti!' quello sarebbe l'oracolo di questo popolo.
12 Io ti radunerò, o Giacobbe, you gather it all! Surely I will gather the rest of Israel, I will make them come together like sheep in a fold, like sheep in the midst of his pasture, the place is crowded with men. 13 Who will make the gap go up before them, they faran the breach, and will go through the door and it will come out, and their king will go before them, and the LORD at their head.
1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and plotting evil on their beds, to put in effect at daybreak, when they have power in hand! 2 covet fields, and kidnap them, the houses, and if you take them, so they oppress a man and his house, the individual and his property.
heard that, everyone puts their hands up and think that it can not be affected by such phrases, since they believe it is right. Instead, everyone should feel implicated, at the time that perfection does not belong to anyone and no one can claim to be right.
Even the most holy men must be found sooner or later, to recognize his state of misery inanza Lord.
religion instead teaches us to build a pedestal and pride for our good works. The true believer, however, acknowledges the gifts of the Spirit, and like Paul, be deemed not the best but the worst of sinners.
What harm for our pride! Dissent from that part of our ego! Yet a true conversion to the Lord is able to awaken these effects in human nature.
Man machine lust and evil things that are not his and can get to a kill for these things.
3 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold, I meditate a race against this evil, which you can not remove your necks, and not walk more head uplifted, they will be bad times.
This verse was addressed to the people, but today the evil race was not extinguished. This generation is renewed decade after decade, since the man sends the mark of his sin to his sons, as understood by the descendants of Adam to the present.
The bad times were always there at the time that man himself is evil. There is where the wicked evil reigns and you can not hope for something the better.
Evil becomes pain, however, when the Lord puts his finger on sinks and sinks, up to the crucial point, where there is a real shame that moves everything.
do not think they are better than anyone else and above all to be different than Israel, because it would be an act of considerable pride.
We are an evil generation, as will our children and their successes. But then as were our ancestors and the one before.
7 O you who bear the name of the house of Jacob, the Lord is quick to anger, perhaps? This is his way of acting? My words are not they favor the one who walks righteously? 8 But lately my people rise as an enemy, you take away the mantle of the above as those that quietly Passaniti, who return from war.
the prophet speaks of righteousness to a city that did not know. Israel knew what justice was too busy to serve his wicked desires.
However, it is the same scenario that took place at the time of Christ and to which we are witnessing today. The Word speaks of things that our human logic considers to be foolish, however, but the boat is always top it off, and the man is in disarray with all sorts of iniquity.
Ad un certo punto l'Eterno si chiede se troverà la fede quando tornerà quaggiù in terra. Lasciano stare i discorsi universali, questa è una domanda che ognuno dovrebbe farsi per sé: “troverà il Signore la fede nel mio cuore quando tornerà?”
Al di là tutte le risposte che si possono dare, se ce n'è anche solo un granello di senapa, allora significa che la rettitudine regna nel nostro cuore.
10 Levatevi, andàtevene! perché questo non è luogo di riposo; a motivo della sua contaminazione, esso vi distruggerà d'una distruzione orrenda.
Whatrest on this earth? Beyond sleep, we can say that the day is a routine continues without pause, without reflection and without stopping. We must do one thing after another and trouble if the clock hand is a little 'ahead of what we set.
Haste reigns in our hearts and everything is contaminated with our desire to make, test, perform ... no ... The Lord does not want it, but whispers to stop.
His voice, in comparison to the bully of the world, is sweet and whispers the repose of the soul.
Let us pause a moment and reflect. The believer feels the need to carve out a moment of the day to stop and look to the sky, a reminder that beyond the hectic day, there is also the possibility of an inner rest, which invigorates and gives hope.
is the sweet voice of the Lord who stays proceedings against the wicked and turned instead to those who trust in him:
12 I gather thee, O Jacob, you gather all of the ! Surely I will gather the rest of Israel, I will make them come together like sheep in a fold, like sheep in the midst of his pasture, the place is crowded with men. 13 Who will ascend the breach before them, they faran the breach, and will go through the door and it will come out, and their king will go before them, and the LORD at their head.
